I can't give you the answer you want. But... I certainly don't. I have turned the book's recipes into something over 100 individual scripts for package installations and "glue" steps. I've thought that I *might* be able to glue those together, but there are enough places, besides the "everyday glitches", when a human brain needs to be involved with evaluation and remediation, that I am still running the unpacking, running builds, deleting packages, all by hand. By the time all those glitches could be taken care of for one host, without anything *close* to a guarantee that it'd be reusable on another host, it's just faster to plow through the book, IMO. Besides, IMO there is a real positive value to have gone through the exercise myself. Part of the reason I do LFS rather than, say, Arch, is the confidence I feel that I know what's *in* my systems and how it's put together.
